Major repairs in the bathroom should begin with the replacement of pipes. Replacing conventional steel pipes with metal or plastic ones is your decision, but you must objectively weigh the pros and cons. Lightweight metal-plastic pipes are easier to install, do not deposit a layer of lime on the walls, do not rust and are relatively cheaper than steel and copper. However, due to the presence of plastic pipes, they can be sensitive to chlorine (in this regard, they cannot be used in the usual annual chlorination of water), as well as to the high temperatures of the water flowing through them. As with wiring, you'll make your life easier by putting all your messages on the water under your fingertips.
You can order high-quality plumbing and baths without leaving your home by going to link catalog of the online plumbing store Vanna-Home. In the catalog it is easy to find everything you need with a detailed description and characteristics.
If there is not enough space in the bathroom, provide a separate drain for the washing machine. In an emergency, make hot and cold water taps on each pipe. If mold has already appeared on part of the bathroom wall, it's time to start redecorating! Precisely, all layers must be broken down to a brick base. To avoid the mistakes of the past, line the bathroom walls and ceiling with layers of moisture-resistant drywall.Please note that electrical wiring must be laid in the bathroom in whole rooms and with a double layer of insulation. This is the correct primary treatment of the walls and ceilings of the bathroom.
This is followed by the logical laying of floor tiles and slabs.Take both with you: firstly, the tile breaks during installation, and secondly, it can crack due to the fall of heavy and sharp objects, or fall off the walls and break under its own weight. And this can happen in about seven years, when you still have not found the reason for the previous repair and for some reason do not want to make a new repair in your apartment. So it's best to put the pieces of five spare tiles in the pantry or in the far corner of the closet.
Choose your tiles carefully: cheap products are not always of poor quality, and vice versa. Choose colored tiles, but in discreet colors: light pink, light green. Or insert monochrome colored tiles randomly among monochrome white rectangles or squares. And the vertical stripe of luminous tiles with images of red poppies, for example, is beautiful against the background of white tiles.
Only the next step is the installation of plumbing. If your financial situation does not allow you to choose sanitary ware and bathroom accessories of the quality that you want, go for high-quality bathroom accessories. It is unlikely that anything will happen to the sink, but a low-quality faucet will constantly leak, a plastic shelf under the mirror - cracked from the weight of the manicure set and broke, a cheap mirror - distorts the image, preventing you from living in an apartment with a beautiful floor to paint alone and the same arrows for both eyes.
Don't forget that you're making your own cozy nest, make sure you like it first!
